  • This is so sad. I love it.

  • @camasta23m I also prefer Gould's rendering.

  • @PianoKittyTree Will you expand on why one prefering Glenn Gould would affect his credibility? Is Glenn Gould that bad? What are your credentials to talk like this about just anyone, even more so about Glenn Gould?

  • @jcfbell3001 I hate those people. Even if he was mechanical, his music is still genius nonetheless. But in my eyes he is both, and that is why I practically worship him ahaha.

  • @yorkshiremusician I understand if you say too fast, but it's not until you say you prefer Gould's tempo that all your credibility goes out the window.

  • Too fast, prefer Glenn Gould's tempo. This misses some of the beauty of the piece.

  • how can anyone say 'bach is mechanical' after listening to this....

  • this music is too beautiful to put into words. I love Richter's soul!

  • @Musicman1720 i find picardy thirds annoying, i love my cadences in i and not I !!
